What are the potential sequelae if an infant does not undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms at birth: Breathing is not smooth at birth...
Onset time: Examination results: Brain hypoxia and brain hemorrhage
Previous treatment and effectiveness: The first treatment, now only two days of hyperbaric oxygen therapy have been done. The child has some edema, and it is unknown if it is normal. The hospital does not allow visits, as it seems that patients with similar symptoms in the hospital have already stopped. If it is not done, what kind of sequelae will there be... Since the hospital basically does not allow visits, the situation and effectiveness are not very clear.

Doctor's answer:

High-pressure oxygen therapy is still quite effective for children with brain hypoxia. They should focus on treatment. As for whether or not to use high-pressure oxygen without leaving behind sequelae, it's uncertain. It depends on the child's specific condition and their complete recovery. Even if high-pressure oxygen is used, it's not guaranteed that there won't be any sequelae. High-pressure oxygen is just one treatment method. You must follow the advice of the attending physician and absolutely cannot make your own choice, as the child is certainly very young. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
